Casio Meta ME-110

Since I started my blog, I covered a couple of watches with the ME series name, but both were special editions, so I assumed that the ME-100 was a one-off.

Today I'm blogging another in the series called the ME-110 (and there is an ME-120 to come at some point in the future). The ME watches are a series called Meta which has a logo of an M drawn like a soundwave (or heartbeat). The range has a bit of a sci-fi feel to them, and tend to be very shiny and metal. I haven't found out any more about the range, as it has one of those names that gets too many Internet search hits to be useful.

The ME-110 uses a 1828 module, and is a world time data bank (called data memory in this instance) model (and looks like it is a Casio Illuminator too).

The face has a large LCD display which doesn't look to have the normal depth of an LCD screen, giving the impression that the numbers are on the front glass. The display has various areas with boxes for status indicators on the top, small digit date and day below, the main 6 digit time display below that, and a dot matrix array showing the year at the bottom. Changing modes for anything except the data bank only changes the dot matrix display, with the time being shown throughout.

Mode-wise, it has multi times, world time (which cycles through alphabetically rather than by time zone), alarm, stopwatch, and data bank (with 30 slots).

The strap is matched with the case (as the linking piece slots into the side of the case), and has a part number of S737-L. There was also a variant with a mesh strap too.
